We just passed the anniversary of Harry Chapin's death. July 16th, 1981 Harry was killed in an accident. He was in a small car and was hit by a truck. RIP Harry. Thanks for the music.
It’s sad to hear this song today as today was my dad’s birthday. He’s been gone several years. I miss my parents and wish I could have spent more time with them. I remember when this came out. It has more meaning now. Thank you.
"Cat's cradle" is a game we play here with a loop of string. You weave the string between your fingers and make different patterns. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure you can find videos demonstrating it on UA-cam. The words in the chorus seem to allude to things related to childhood: cat's cradle is a game, "Little Boy Blue" is a nursery rhyme, the man in the moon is a folktale. (I'm not sure about the "silver spoon," but there's a nursery rhyme in which "the dish ran away with the spoon.) I always interpreted it as illustrating the things from his son's childhood that the father was missing. It's true that "cat's cradle" has come to mean "broken commitments," but I think that meaning came about because of this song.
@@marydodsonmt I always felt like it meant they had all the material things they needed because of the Father's focus on career ; but that something was missing,the cat is being cradled instead of the baby. I could be wrong.
I came here to say this very thing. This was a good reaction video but it was a missed opportunity to have a better understanding of the chorus. Everything in the chorus refers to children’s games and nursery rhymes. It’s the childhood that was happening while he was away. It’s so poignant at the end of the song because you can’t get that time back.
I always thought the silver spoon was a reference to the phrase "born with a silver spoon in their mouth" meaning born into luxury. And it referenced the choice between providing material wealth and providing time (as in the time to teach and play the cats cradle game).
This song has always impacted me deeply as a son and more as a father. Brings tears to my eyes knowing my failures as my father and wanting to be better to my children.
I'm not asking this to be rude, I too have lost both of my dads to COPD. You understand this song is not complementary to the dad? I think of my birth dad with this song, and that's definitely not a compliment. I really hope you find peace on your journey with grief. I can't explain it. We never heal, but we do become stronger. Give yourself loads of grace.
Thank you. Somehow the algorithm showed me a video from 2 years ago a couple of days ago, and I watched, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love the wisdom of all of the participants, and the videos never fail to bring a smile to my face and make me think. Thank you for encouraging and sharing these perspectives with us.
The switch in the chorus after the 3rd verse that goes from "When you coming home dad" to "When you coming home son" and they both say they dont know gets me everytime
Regret is what's shared with the Johnny Cash song and this one. Music is the universal language and a reflection of the human condition. When the one gentleman said "Paying bills is like hell", it made me laugh because I feel the same way except I'm on the other side of the world. Thank you for these videos!.
Yayyyy I'm so glad you finally got to this song, and they appreciated it so much~ Muharam is right that there are some people who grow up okay with their fathers away, and sometimes it is necessary. Definitely everything in life should be done in a balanced way: In this case, a good balance of independence and togetherness is ideal!
I have to agree with them regarding family & the Western way of generations living apart. It didn't used to be that way & I think our countries were better for it. Multi-generational homes allowed the wisdom of the elders to be passed down to the children, grandchildren, etc instead of each generation attempting life on their own & making unnecessary mistakes.....mistakes yheir elders could have cautioned them away from. I was 25 when I moved out of my parents' home....late by most Western standards....and Im thankful for the extra time I had with my parents & the things they taught me. Several years later, my mother was widowed & I immediately invited her to live in my home. She lived with me until she passed at the age of 86. I have many happy memories from her time living with me.
@@bigdawgz4530 I think multi-generational co-habitation is coming back because of economic circumstances. And despite Americans dreading this fact,I think it will be good for us in the long run.
@gregorywellssr7857 I agree. And in pre-industrial life, the times did not change so fast and the advice of the elders was truer for longer. I'm sorry to say my grandparents offer little in terms of good advice to me as a 22 year old they do not understand how the modern world works and if I followed their "wisdom" I would be a fool
But try not miss what they do still have to offer! Of course the details of the modern world are changing too quickly for them,but what never changes are PRINCIPLES. The principles of human behavior,being able to tell how a social situation might play out,reading body language and facial expressions,subtle differences in the ways things are worded - your grandelders probably have a lot of experience at this ; I guess some would call it " instinct",but it's years and decades of experience at reading people. Their advice can still have great value,try to enjoy them while you have them,they are treasure.
I agree with you so wholeheartedly,buddy. I have 4 kids,and if I had the space,they could ALL live with me. Modern people are so DAMN selfish. But you did your duty as a son,and that is a deed of the highest honor.
This song has always made me so sad. I think it woke up a whole generation of fathers - mothers, too. Love & importance of family is so universal; glad they heard this song & could talk about it.
This was a lovely video, full of insight as always. I would love to see them react to Elvis, Culture Club (Karma Chameleon for example), Gordon Lightfoot (Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald), Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Little Richard, Chuck Berry... The list is endless!
This song hits a nerve with me as I gradually grew apart from my dad due to him being in a horrible debillitating accident around the time I was sprouting wings to get my firstt car,my own place etc drinking partying ... . . I spent 2 decadesnot giving it muuch thoughht. . early 2000s rolled around I began peroiodically wishing I could pacth things up between me & him, touch base make a connection ....... but too bush with life, but need to do it, Later . . The feeling of needing to make a connection, Let him know I still care & Im still here would still showup from tim eto time, just couldnt find the motivation of way to make it happen. Fast forward 2016 ... The thought & need to see him, touch base, handshake or hug talk kept surfacing, As long as I spoke to my mom I knew he was "ok" . but someehow soon I need to make that connection, just showup in person & talk a bit. .... Spoke to my mom, he was sick in the hospital but getting out later .... sigh of relieaf, on with life, but I still need to get that closure, to let him know I care. Let him know Im still that little boy I was so long ago . . few days past. My mom called me early crying , ... He began having severe pains toa point he HAD to go to tghe ER, ..... thru her tears she said we lost him, hes gone. - I carry that guiltt with me always. I was on the verge of going to see him, to make that connection & let him know I care, Im still that little boy,just older. - To me the moral of the song is .... Life will push you,sometimes uncontrollably, and everybodies getting older, & time doesnt wait for anyone. And if you need to do something & you reallly wholeheartedly need to do it , Do it soon, because you may not get another chance.
@TRYBALS, What a great video again. May I suggest that the gentlemen watch a video from Playing for change? Its a concept where people from all over the world play known music together. I think it would be great to see them reacting to a video where music, humankind and unity come together. My own favourite video from them is: "Sitting on the dockof the bay by Otis Redding".
You just read my mind, I've been watching those videos for so long and saying this to myself: "This is what our friends need to see". It's such a nice concept with a message of how a common language could connect people of all kinds from all over the world. I'll check out your suggestion but have you seen their cover of "What a wonderful world?" I'm considering it because our friends are connected to that song on another level, they know what it means and the story behind it. Looking forward to your thoughts 🤗❤️🌹
@@TRYBALS Yes I agree that the message behind the song "What a wonderful world" is more special. I personally just really enjoy listening to "Sitting on the dock of the bay", the quality how they put that song together is great, but they have many more great songs. Perhaps if they enjoy the Playing for change concept you can show them more videos, I think showing them many of these videos with all those different people, cultures, instruments can bring many interesting stories and reactions. Thanks for making these videos, its great to see people who grew up & live so differently are still so similar to me. I come from a modern country but other cultures, histories and views on the world always interest me a lot. Videos like yours bring humandkind more together than you might expect.
Every now and then you find a pearl of wisdom in the most unexpected places. This was one of them. Another one would be Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I think you guys would really appreciate this mother's advice to her son.
My sister amd I have always thought this song was written fro our dad. He wasn't home often and rarely checked in. Now that he has died, I grieve for what could have been.
I’m so sorry. Our father was asked to leave by our mum after one too many affairs. I was a daddy’s girl from a toddler and was 5 1/2 when he left. I was attached to his leg, sobbing and begging him not to leave me. Fortunately, while he was a rotten husband he was a great dad. Always financially responsible for us and we saw him every second weekend. I finally got to go and live with him when I was 14 and just being able to sit and watch British comedies together was so much fun. He was a workaholic, left early and came home for tea and he became extremely successful. My darling dad died in December 2022 aged 87, and I sobbed and sobbed, as though I was still 5 1/2 again. I miss him so much. My love to you. I don’t follow traditional religions but am spiritual and believe that he will be waiting for you, and will know what he did that hurt you so badly, and he will be all that you wanted. Best wishes
There is a Cat Stevens song called Father and Son. It tells of the son's frustration with his father. He has his own dreams of the life he wants, but his father won't listen, telling him to wait. In the song the two voices talk over each other, illustrating how you can't understand each other if you talk without listening.
I love this channel Sometimes i just listen to Ustads speaking and listen. I pretend that i understand the words. I was raised in US unitarian church. We believe all people are under one god. I don't know if there is a god, but i believe in Good People. Like Ustads here. People with open minds are the most wise. Sending love to you all! I hope to learn your language, but for now, i enjoy it: as music
the comments on the bass parts (actually I think it's a cello if you look at the beginning) remind me of a great song where the bass player supports the tune much like being in the same mind as the guitarist. Hot Tuna Mann's Fate. This might test Aziz who said he has no interest in music without lyrics :) Remember old is gold. These two were the core of Jefferson Airplane in the hippie days.
I started the video but I have a feeling I'm going to tear up a little...or probably outright crying by the end of this one. I already feel like this is really going to effect Mashoque
Cats in the cradle is a game children play with a string. They move their hands in a way to weave it into a cradle. A child is said to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth, when their parents are wealthy. Instead of a spoon made of wood, or tin, it's silver. Meaning, their parents are able to give them lots of material things. But, that isn't necessarily the thing children need, or want most from their parents. Little Boy Blue, and the man in the moon are characters in nursery rhymes. Poems told to babies and small children.
There is a difference whether your father comes home from work or whether he is absent from home for weeks or months. This is really difficult for the smaller children. There really has to be a grandpa or uncle or teacher who can make things right. We need role models and guidance. I can understand the pain well. Being able to give time is really the most important thing, but life is hard sometimes.
As men we work hard and hope our sons can have an easy life but we must remember that we cannot be a slave to our job at the expense of family. Wealth gained from such work doesn’t replace a good relationship or life lessons passed from father to son, which are necessary for a good upbringing.
Usually Muharam is the first to the heart of the matter musically, but Mashoque beat him with his lyrical interpretation on this one. Peace, love and blessings be upon all of these gentlemen.
Cats in the cradle is a string game that children play, nothing to do with cats or cradles except in the name. You form shapes with your fingers and the string circle. Your helper or other player pulls on certain strings to change the shape in set formulas.
Cat’s in the cradle, man in the moon are from what we call nursery rhymes ( little rhythmic story/ songs to tell to babies) Adnan, are these last two songs on Patreon? The last thing I see is your medical test results.
@@TRYBALS, ah, now you have me questioning myself, but I'm pretty sure a midwife can be certified or uncertified (is that what you mean?). I've seen references to "traditional midwives" in the past referring to people with no licenses or formal training. A bit of searching and I'm seeing Dai referred to as "traditional midwives", so I think that's about right. :)
@@h3lblad3 yes I actually went to Google when I was writing the subtitles and found that dai is a traditional person who can help deliver a baby. So I just went with the term that is similar in our language too 😊

I tear up every time I hear this song.
I hate this song so much, but it is a masterpiece.
My father's gone now, as of 2020, and this song is going to hurt more and more the older I get.
I love abdul he is so wise and i love to hear his perspective. I would love for him to hear traditional music from my country scotland
I'd love to hear that. too!
Very well presented and the reactions are thoughtful and expressed too. The crew does a very good job of explaining the lyrics.
This was one of the best, no, thee best, reactions I have ever seen.
Thanx for doing this.❤

Adnan, are these last two songs on Patreon? The last thing I see is your medical test results.
@TRYBALS,
You use the word "Dai" as a "woman who helps others give birth". The English word for that job is "Midwife".
Sure, I know. But I thought midwife is a term for someone who is qualified to do so.
@@TRYBALS, ah, now you have me questioning myself, but I'm pretty sure a midwife can be certified or uncertified (is that what you mean?).
I've seen references to "traditional midwives" in the past referring to people with no licenses or formal training. A bit of searching and I'm seeing Dai referred to as "traditional midwives", so I think that's about right. :)
@@h3lblad3 yes I actually went to Google when I was writing the subtitles and found that dai is a traditional person who can help deliver a baby. So I just went with the term that is similar in our language too 😊

React to Enya music please

When you grow up and your dad still doesn’t want to do 💩. F it.
Are two cultures are not similar at all.
We have different priorities.
Terrible version of the song though.
It's the original version.
